2nd World Mind Sports Games

Lille, France

The Farewell Address by Jos Damiani,

President of IMSA
And, again, a lot of people who were following the games
through internet were surely jealous at not being able to
share the lovely life we have enjoyed here during the past
fortnight.
I am very pleased to thank you, M. le Maire, M. le Prsident and to congratulate the region and department as all
of you contributed to the success of this event but you will
also benefit from a tremendous economical and visible return.
(Medal given to: Rudy Elegeest 1er Vice Prsident Grands
vnements Lille Mtropole)

Everything must come to an end, even the best.

Was the 2nd edition of the World Mind Sports Games to
your satisfaction?
I believe so according to what you have kindly told me.
The Lille Grand Palais is without doubt the right place for
our organisation and certainly a lot of others as it will benefit from the superb publicity and media coverage we both
received.
I want to thank the management and all the staff for their
dedication and efficiency. Mr President Jacques Richir: you
can be proud of them.
(Medals given to: Cdric Fiolet Directeur Gnral de Lille
Grand Palais and Jacques Richir)
Lille as a city is certainly well known but this time, due
also to very favourable weather, everybody walked along
the marvellous old centre with its very beautiful lighting.

Finally, it is my privilege and honour to address you, all the

players, for your remarkable achievements, your behaviour,
your fair play. Two of you, Chen Yeh and Pierre Zimmermann, deserve our particular attention for their sincere
generosity and they were rewarded by outstanding results.
I would also like to thank my colleagues from Bridge,
Chess, Draughts, Go and Xiang Qi for their great job in the
organisation.
I wish all of you a good trip back and all the International Federations every success.
And now, in accordance with tradition, I declare the 2nd
World Mind Sports Games closed, and I call upon the
worlds Mind Sports players to assemble four years from
now in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to celebrate the 3rd World
Mind Sports Games.
